Geoengineering an Answer to Climate Change?

Abigail Haddad, the American Enterprise Institute | July 2, 2008

Geoengineering as a solution to the problem of global warming deserves more attention from policymakers. ++ Solutions such as injecting ultra-fine sulfur particles into the stratosphere or spraying clouds with saltwater to increase their reflectivity may not be a panacea for climate change but they have a potential to slow it down and it would be much cheaper than mitigating GHG emissions. ++ Geoengineering gains recognition in mainstream climate science – it’s time for world leaders to commission more research on the topic and provide funding.
